It’s no secret that Colorado is home to the world’s best Rocky Mountain Oysters, green chile, and microbrews… but would you be surprised to learn that we are also home to some amazing seafood? That’s right; there is no shortage of fresh and flavorful seafood here in land-located Colorado, which can be found at these 11 must-visit restaurants:
- Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar (Denver)
Yelp/Jax Fish House LoDo
Yelp/Tom E. Located just down the street from Denver’s Union Station, this small seafood chain has been named one of the “25 Best Seafood Restaurants” by Travel & Leisure Magazine. (One bite and you will see—err, taste—why.)
- WW Peppers (Grand Junction)
Yelp
Yelp/Eugene T. Whether you are in the mood for innovative crab enchiladas, steak & lobster, or just some good old-fashioned battered shrimp, you are sure to find something to love at WW Peppers.
- Enclade’s A Taste of New Orleans (Pueblo)
Yelp/Alison H.
Yelp For the best New Orleans-inspired crawfish étouffée and fried catfish platters outside of—well, New Orleans—there is only one Enclade’s!
- Bully’s (Fleming)
Bully’s Pub and Grub Facebook
Yelp/Diana B. One of the last places you would expect to find a 2 lb. crab leg special with all the trimmings would be in a small town, but that is exactly what you will find (and a whole lot more) at this northeast Colorado favorite.
- Country Steak Out (Fort Morgan)
Country Steak Out Facebook
Yelp/M S. Also located in northeastern Colorado is Country Steak Out, which serves not only highly regarded steaks and burgers, but also fried and steamed seafood goodness!

Yelp/Samuel W. Not only are this establishment’s Standards Wild (see what I did there?), they are also high, as they only serve the freshest fish from the most sustainable of sources.
- Grey Lady (Aspen)
Grey Lady Aspen Facebook
Yelp/Olya A. What tastes best after a day of gorgeous skiing and/or shopping along a beautiful Main Street? A mouthwatering clam bake with corn bread from the Grey Lady, of course!
- Fish (Fort Collins)
Yelp
Yelp/Fish Management Let’s just say that you don’t get a 4.5 star rating on Facebook and TripAdvisor for being just mediocre…
- English Dockside Seafood & Grill (Colorado Springs)
